The evangelist and former priestess described her first day in custody as one of the most difficult moments of her life.
At around 5:30 a.m., a bell rang to summon all inmates for assembly, immediately signalling to her that prison life operates on terms entirely different from the outside world.
Nana Agradaa on Life Inside Nsawam
Agradaa recalled being dressed in a prison uniform and slippers, with some moments requiring her to walk around without footwear at all.
She stressed that prison strips away the comfort and independence people take for granted at home, leaving inmates with little control over even the most basic aspects of their day.
In her view, anyone who survives a stint behind bars and returns to their family in good health should credit that to divine grace.
Turning her attention to Chairman Wontumi, she said the businessman, now serving a 20-year sentence, may come face to face with the very realities she endured during her own time at Nsawam.
Agradaa's Warning to the Youth
Beyond the remarks about Chairman Wontumi, Agradaa used her experience as a cautionary tale for younger Ghanaians.
She said her time in prison reshaped how she views decision-making, and she has no intention of putting herself in a position that could lead her back there.
She added that if she were ever offered an opportunity she suspected could result in her returning to prison, she would walk away from it without hesitation.
Agradaa also expressed a desire to visit schools and share her story directly with students, believing that a first-hand account of life behind bars could steer young people towards more responsible choices.
Her comments have sparked widespread discussion online, particularly around her remarks concerning Chairman Wontumi's sentence.
